Episode 49 - Addressing SALAD w/Matt Jensen

Suction-assisted laryngoscopy and airway decontamination (SALAD) was created to assist with the decontamination of a massively soiled airway. We sit down with flight nurse, researcher, and lead author Matt Jensen to discuss this technique and his most recent Air Medical Journal study aimed at investigating its usefulness in training prehospital emergency providers to improve their ability to intubate a contaminated airway.   Video of Matt's colleague Will Hicks performing the SALAD technique with the screen split between external and internal views: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SKgwcp3Up1YuKKNRV7FpbBehzeqK_3mI/view?usp=sharing YouTube video of Du Canto demonstrating SALAD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PztChpfur4g YouTube video showing the inside-mouth view of the technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57a39GCvWL8 ------------------------------------------------  Twitter @heavyhelmet Facebook @heavyliesthehelmet Instagram @heavyliesthehelmet YouTube /heavyliesthehelmet Website heavyliesthehelmet.com Email contact@heavyliesthehelmet.com Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Heavy Lies the Helmet, LLC podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of their employers and their employees.
